My Prehistoric Mammal & Bird Collection

[WalkingWithBeasts]

I've never been that bothered about the prehistoric cats made by Bullyland for some reason although I'd happily accept one if one was offered but I wouldn't go out of my way to procure them, I'm more interested in the slightly more unusual carnivores like the Andrewsarchus. I thought the Gomphothere was the Mastodon.

It's a shame that Colorata don't ship outside of Japan as some of their sets are great, although I have found it on eBay.

The Gomphothere/ Mastodon thing used to confuse me too. I gather that these were somewhat synonymous in some circles a while back when Bullyland made the original issue.

I've always known it as the Mastodon. The only Gomphothere figure I'm familiar with is the recent CollectA one.

Welcome to the forum! I like themed collections, and yours is no exception.

Bullyland does indeed list it as a Mastodon but it's a 4 tusk Gomphotherium.

Kind of like their so-called predatory ratite...a Gastornis, which is in no way a ratite

They call it Raublaufvogel in Germany. Someone probably thought that Laufvogel is a general term for large flightless birds. I think their attempts at "German names" for these are only slightly less cringy than what Schleich used for the Classics line.

Amazing collection mate! What did you use for your Iberomesornis?

Thanks, actually I made the Iberomesornis out of silk and foam clay.
